DiptychFeijoa

Yes, I like feijoa. The smell and the taste. A little bit of exotism while we have a foretaste of winter. Honestly, any picture can do justice to this fragant fruit…

Discovered last year, I instantly ranked it in my top 5 amongst fig, apricot, litchi and pineapple.

This year, I was really looking forward the season.
Very popular in New Zealand, feijoa is baked in various way (muffin, crumble…), prepared in salsa, salad, smoothie or cordial (thank you, Alessandra, for this link !). Personally, I enjoy it raw and simply spoon out the flesh from the fruit.

This time, anyway, I made a little and smooth custard that preserves well the aroma. And for the fun, I served it with crackers shaped like spoon.

PommeCerise1

Last week was just rain. To make it up, the weather gave us fabulous blue and sunny days this week.

To enjoy the last colour of Fall, I went yesterday for a walk. On my way back home my attention was caught by little colourful spots on the ground.

I first thought it was big berries, but after a closer look I realised it was apple ! Very tiny ones. I find them so cute ! I did not resist and collected some.

They remind me cherries: probably because of their size and the stem.

These little unexpected fruits were indeed the cherry on the cake of this nice day !

You probably know what type of apple is it. Please let me know…
